With XDP, network functions (eBPF) can be executed as soon as a packet reaches the network card and before it is moved up into the kernel’s network subsystem, which leads to a significant increase in packet processing speed. This technology allows us to achieve significantly faster firewall speeds.
In general, all of our VT AIR appliances are already prepared for XDP / eBPF.
This technology will be available in VT AIR in 2021.
